**Eversman** · 05-11-2003, 07:16 PM

sounds real to me

**gaun** · 05-11-2003, 08:58 PM

sound real to me, what adress did it come from?

**Jonne** · 05-11-2003, 09:18 PM

it's probably a fake. It's kinda weird all people that post those warnings are new members. I haven't seen any senior members posting a mail they got, while they are the ones that are heavy users.

don't believe it, they're scare tactics...

Probably fake.......
Usually they will tell you the file that was in violation and ask you to remove that file from any P2P/File Sharing program that you are using...
they will also state what network you were using at the time. ie:FastTrack
